PAGE E. W ork of The Lions Reviewed at Banquet he would accomplish great things durâ€" 1n'g his reign. “Fundam'nta! Purpose Is Harmony‘" ‘"The fundamental purpose of any Lions Clu3 is harmony," said Fred Wolno, ‘and with this thought in mind ive now have a boys‘ band." There is ‘preposal for legislation to make it necessary for each town to support at least cne band. he said, but remarked that this is not necessary so far as Timmins is concerned, since the counâ€" cil grants aid to its own bands and the Lfons Club is now looking after the boys, "without an appeal to anything but public sympathy." There are now 32 boys in the band and 70 more on the waiting list. In the group of 32, eight different nationalities are repreâ€" sented. Within a few short months, he predicted, the band will make its first appearance. ‘ Mr. Conneli told the Lions something of the Ottawa Lions 80â€"piece boys‘ band which will represent District A at the International convention band concert. _ Dr. Roy Weston gave much of the credit for the success of the Shcuâ€" maher clu>‘s work to the excellent coâ€" operation obtained from the township of Tisdale council and the school boards. Lions Clubs, Dr. Weston said, are a steadying influence in the general confusion that appears to be spreading throughout the world. * _A Vision of Public Service . The founder of Lionism, F. H. V. Ball said, had had a vision of public serâ€" vice in 1914 when he felt sure that the efforts of a group of men would be much more effective than individual efforts. From this idea the Lions Clubs had been born and have to date proâ€" duced a tremendous effect on life withâ€" in the communities and sections in which they exist, Members of the Lions are like cogs in a great wheel, Mr. Ball said, who see each year some new work started, some new job done. "Our monâ€" ument is community work. We do not build for the immediate present, but with an eye to the future," he conâ€" cluded. In proposing the toast to the ladies, Charles Yates referred to the earlier days of the Porcupine whcn women had accompanied their husbands North in the true spirit of comradeship, had given up homes in organized communiâ€" ties and had come here to stay and create new communities.
